Puzzle-It 12-Piece Blank Puzzle, 24 Puzzles Per Package, 5-1/2" x 8", White

We bought these to make invitations to my daughter's sixth birthday party (it had a "spy" theme) and to use for a game we planned for the same party. We were hesitant to make this purchase at first because the price was a little more than we had originally planned, but we went ahead and made the purchase anyway. This was the right call.PROS: These puzzles are high quality and very easy to use. After we made the invitations (which we took apart and gave to friends so they could put them together to read the invitation) and used another for a game (we made a scavenger hunt in which puzzle pieces were hidden around the yard and the kids at the party put them together to find the final clue), my kids and I played with the ones that remained. We used a black Sharpie on the invitations, and my kids drew on them with markers and crayons. Every type of material worked well.These puzzles are sturdy. At one point, we spilled a glass of water on a few of them, and they were basically fine once they dried out. They're thick and durable.CONS: We paid $12.99 for these, and that felt a bit expensive (considering it was a birthday party expense and those can add up), but considering you get 24 of these, it's reasonable. Still, these particular puzzles are smaller than other options (5 1/2 by 8) and might not be satisfying for some. For our purposes, they worked well, but they are small.And they are very easy. We got the 12-piece puzzles because we felt that was most appropriate for the age range of our audience. Larger puzzles will be harder of course, but the difficulty level is minimal.The puzzles were a little challenging to write on, of course, because of the puzzle cuts, but it wasn't impossible. A puzzle with more pieces, obviously, would be harder.This was a fun purchase and we were lucky enough to have some puzzles left over to do some fun craft projects with. A good time had by all.

I used these puzzles as part of a scavenger hunt game for my daughter's birthday. She painted the puzzles with water colors, then I wrote a message on them with a hint on where to find the goodie bags. The kids had to solve their individual puzzles, read the hidden message and then go hunting. I thought the puzzles were a great addition to this hunting game. This type of game works well for kids 7-10 years old.

This product was late, but it was worth waiting for. My grandson is going to be so excited to get this so he can make his puzzles. Thank you for sending my order. 👍

Nice puzzles but turned out to be too big to fit in the easter eggs I had, no worries I brought them to Grandmas house and all the Grand kids got to design a special puzzle. Lots of fun!

My 3rd graders created a one of a kind puzzle for their Mother’s Day present.

My PreKinders have recently fallen in love with puzzles, so I bought these so the kiddos could make their own puzzles. Regular markers worked great and the project was success, that I decided to buy two more packs for a craft/valentine for their parents, and I am currently halfway through making alphabet puzzles for the class. I’ve been using permanent markers, and the colors soak in so well and are so vibrant! Amazing buy and I’ll probably end up getting more, eventually!photo: don’t pay attention to the blue, I started running out of ink! 😬

Easy to decorate with markers and crayons. Made a fun Mother's Day gift for my 3rd grade class to create for their moms!

Just what I ordered subbed amazing

The product was advertised as 24 puzzles with 12 pieces each. I only received 2 puzzles with 12 pieces each. I want my money back.
